"Studies show that a home can sell up to three times faster when it is Staged." - San Francisco Chronicle

"Staging speeds up sales in a sluggish market, and can bump up prices 2 percent to 10 percent in a moderate market."
- Wall Street Journal, April 30, 2004

"When Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Los Altos, Calif., looked at nearly 2,800 properties in eight U.S. cities in 2004, they found that the staged homes, on average, sold in half the time that the non-staged homes did. The sellers with staged homes ended up with 6.3% more than their asking price, on average, while sellers with non-staged homes sold for 1.6% more than the asking price." - USA Today

Happy Limelight Customer Testimonials

(The following is a exact copy of a letter which was received from a satisfied customer. Limelight Home Staging assisted her in selling her condo located in Capitola, CA.)

Dear Sarah,

I have finally settled into my place down in San Diego and I love it! As I reflect on the move, I am so thankful that I was able to sell my condo quickly so I could focus on my new job and life down in Southern California.

Sarah, right from the start, you asked me several questions about what I wanted my staged home to look like. Once we both agreed upon a staging plan, you organized a list of everything that was needed and even delivered the necessary items to my house. This helped calm the stress of getting a place ready to sell. I felt that you were so reliable and gave 150% as you paid attention to every detail. Not only was your creation fabulous, but your natural design ability provided a welcoming and warm atmosphere for potential buyers to view. It was actually hard to decide to still sell the condo because I loved the transformation so much!

Within 2 weeks, 2 offers came in when other homes were sitting on the market for months. My condo sold about 2 weeks before I was scheduled to move to San Diego. The bonus was having the buyer love the staging so much that they requested some of the items be included in the sale!

Thanks again Sarah for the personalized care and expert staging that you created. I had a specific time frame (6 weeks) for selling my condo in this challenging market and you helped make it happen. I am a very happy and satisfied client!

Sincerely,

Christina Harrison

Dear Sarah,

As a full service Realtor, and especially a listing agent, I would really like to thank you for the professional manner in which you have staged and presented the homes I have listed using your services. I have worked with many staging companies in the past, and do my own staging as well, yet I was very impressed with the way you are able to transform ordinary spaces. Your design ideas are fresh, clean, and uncluttered.

I like to represent the properties I sell in their best light, enabling the buyer to see the optimum value of that property. I believe this is what you bring to each and every property you stage. You are also very organized and professional, not only in the way you present yourself and in your communication skills, but also in your execution of services needed specifically and uniquely to each property.

I place high value in using staging on every property I represent. Because of holding to that high standard, I now have a reputation for offering properties in their finest capacity.

Thank you for being a part of the success story for me and for all my clients in their Real Estate transactions!

My condo under Sarah Meads' inspiring staging ability was transformed from an average property on the market to an eye opening, well lit, beautifully arranged magnet for home buyers. My Realtor heard comments from perspective buyers such as, "I feel like I could just hang my clothes in the closet and I am home." That is how inviting and comfortable my condo looked and felt after Sarah staged it. At a time when properties were staying on the market for months, my staged condo had competing offers in a week! We sold soon after for our asking price. I believe that would have been impossible had Sarah not staged our property.

~Phil, Santa Cruz, CA

We used Limelight Home Staging to help sell our house of seven years. Sarah Meads was extremely thorough in her design, meticulously documenting the new layout. Our home looked amazing when she was done, and we received an offer by the end of the second week. Which is very unusual in this market. Thank you, Sarah!

~Brenda, Boulder Creek, CA

I am so happy I had Sarah Meads stage my daughters wedding. Everything turned out absolutely gorgeous! The dance floor, guest tables, center pieces, head table and cake table were exquisite. It was wonderful to work closely with such a professional. Sarah definitely made a huge event look very classy!
